Food that is not properly digested can rot and putrefy in the gut resulting in a buildup of waste in the intestinal tract which produces bacteria and toxins that can then be absorbed into the rest of the body effecting health and energy levels. Poor digestion can result in constipation, weight gain, acid reflux, parasites, flatulence, inflammation, fatigue, allergies, bad breath and impaired immune response. The more raw fruits and vegetables that you eat, the more digestive enzymes you get; and the more digestive enzymes you get, the better you digest the food you eat which means more nutrients available for better health. If you suffer from any of the above mentioned conditions, you may want to increase your intake of raw fruits and vegetable as well as supplementing your diet with digestive enzyme tablets that can be taken with meals. Digestive enzymes can help your body breakdown layers of old undigested food remaining in the gastrointestinal tract which may help with weight loss.
